She Has Disappeared From the
Novels.

Has it occurred to nobody in his
STRUGGLES to keep abreast of the tide of
activity that sells in fiction. as in every
other department of modern thought, to
cast one deploring glance over his
shoulder at the lovely form of the hero
inc of ol,-time, drifting fast and far
into oblivion? asks a writer in the
Toronto Heck. 1t would be strange. in
deed. if we did not regret her, this
daughter of the lively Imagination of
bygone day. BY long familiarity how
dear her features grew! Having heard
of her blue eyes, with what zestful an
tcipation we foreknew the golden hair.
the rosebud mouth, the faintly-flushed
ethereal check, and the pink sea-shell
that was privileged to do auricular duty
in catching the never-ceasing murmur
of alteration that beat about the feet of
the blonde maiden! Voting of her
ebon locks. with what subtle prescience
we guessed the dark and flashing optics.
the alabaster forehead, the lips curved
in fine scorn, the regal hight and the
very unapproachable demeanor of the
brunei! The fact that these startling
differences were purely physical. that
lines of their physical construction ran
sweetly parallel, never interfered with
our joyous interest in them as we
breatnessly followed their varying for
tunes, from an auspicious beginning,
through narrowing Vicissitudes, to
blissful close. So that her ringletS were
long enough, and her woes deep enough,
and her conduct under them marked by
Il beautiful resignation and the more
becoming forms of grief, it never occur
red to us to cavl ut the object of Alger-
mons passion because her capabilities

the sweetness of her disposition, the

boudoirs-or the twining nature of her
affections, we unconsciously supplied

wooden, this person for whom gallant
youths attained remarkable nights of
self-sacriice and villains intrigued in
vain; her virtues and her faults alike
might form part of the intricate and ex-
pensive interior of Il Paris doll; and we
loved her perhaps with the unmeaning
love of infancy for toys. She was the
painted pivot of the merry-go-round-
it could not possibly revolve, with its ex
citing episodes. without her; yet her
humble presence bore no striking rela-
ton 10 the mimic pageant that went ON
about her. She vanished with the last
page, ceased utterly with the sound of
her wedding bells; and we remember
for little space, not the maiden, but
the duels in her honor. the designs
upon her fortune, and the poetic justice
that overlook her calumniators.

A Few More Points,
INN Referring to the nOh
I61 above letter, we lOO4

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Sucn desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not travelling experimental lnstl-
tuition, and they will continue TO ouy
their Watches, Silver Ware, etc., OF
